Poltergeist, Silver City: Facing off in Monday's Southwest at Oaklawn..

Big Crama: Hasn't worked in ages. Has a problem that David Fawkes won't specify..

Notonthesamepage: Fountain of Youth try planned..

Checklist: Embarassingly bad 5th or 6th at 3-5 the Friday before Donn-Holy Bull..

Pressure Point: Good question.. Haven't seen anything about him since the race in early January.. Mike Maker trains..

Stately Character: Uninvolved 5th in the Holy Bull last week.

Valid Rules: Never heard of this one..

Perfect Song: Is my man Trombetta's.. Owner entertained some offers for big fig debut winner, but hasn't been moved. Gotham maybe..

Missing THUMBS, are we?

There's a certain PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE that doesn't use the SPACE BAR. There's a dissertation topic for someone.

Pressure Point went a 1 1/8 at gulfstream, the day 2 races at that distance, for 3yr olds were carded, he was bet well, something like 3-1 and lost to one of the Mcpeek horses.

sorry tried to put in list form couldnt get it, my son says I am hopeless when it comes to any thing having to do with computers (except shop and found horse betting sites much to husbands dismay). Thanks for responding as far as Valid Rules the last race won was at Hawthorne, not sure why I put on my list, will keep researching,and thankyou Miss Storm Cat for the welcome(typed this with thumbs)

Stately Character broke badly in the Holy Bull, so he might deserve another chance. Silver City has a breathing problem and I'll be surprised if he can go long unless they are somehow able to correct it.

Forgot to mention that Big Drama missed a couple of weeks after kicking his stall. Not a major problem, but the timing kept him out of the Holy Bull.

berreman150 02-10-2009 09:05 PM

well what about Giant Oak ? Read he missed the break and was hung up in traffic in the Risen Star havent been able to watch any races as traveling in motorhome limited tv and wireless sucks for most part, alot of the (experts) seem pretty high on him.

Linny 02-10-2009 10:33 PM

Giant Oak was the vistim of Prado's worst ever ride. I didn't bet him but I like this colt and think he is better than his race in the Risen Star. He is a big long striding horse that was run up in tight quarters twice and still came running to finish 5th.

Meaning he'll probably be a horrendous underlay next time too.

I don't buy that. He hasn't worked in 3 weeks now. Something is amiss. I'll call David Fawkes today and get an update though.

Big Drama is supposed to work this morning.

Well.. he's not. He's going back to Calder from Gulfstream tomorrow and will only be starting back on a regular routine then. So unless David Fawkes changes plans from the conversation I just had with him, that's Big Drama's status. Fawkes also has absolutely no schedule for him. If it looks like he's ready for a race along the way towards a Derby prep, he'll run, but the priority is the horse for him and Hal Queen.

berreman150 02-12-2009 10:22 AM

Will keep him as a horse to watch for in future then, just thought he sounded promising as notes I had on say he had won 5 in a row,and had enough earnings for Derby. Also he had won going short and longer . I know the subject comes up quite a bit on here concerning the fragility of the race horse these days, do you think that was the case here? Too many races too soon? just wondering as I dont know that much about that part of it and am always interested in learning more.
